InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Deep Waters ❯ Ch.5 ( Chapter 5 )

Ch.5

 

 

It was early in the morning when Kagome woke. Her eyes were crusted over with sleep. Her body was so stiff that she could not move. She moaned quietly wishing herself back to sleep. Alas, it did not come for when she opened her eyes she saw those lovely amber eyes.

"Love, what are you thinking about?" asked Inuyasha in a tired voice. Her eyes had clouded over as if she was deep in thought, which was true.

"Hmm, oh nothing." She replied snuggling up closer to him. Damn her thoughts to Hell, she was going to have to leave eventually, might as well enjoy her time with him.

"Whatever you say, love. As much as I hate to say it, it's time t'get up. So y'know, there'll be a party to congratulate the crew on a good raid, you're invited obviously. Although, I got no idea why you would wanna come, just a bunch o'drunk pirates makin' fools of themselves." He whispered into her ear making her shiver.

"Now, I'm sure it can't be that bad, I suppose it would be kind of amusing." She answered trying to cover up the feelings that Inuyasha was showing her.

"Love, if you wanna y'can come, Sango'll be there, so you can hang around with her." He replied. This was bliss to him, just sitting her having a decent conversation a beauty like Kagome, not doing anything, just talking. He hadn't experienced anything like this his life, not even with Kikyou.

It was silent for a moment each in their own thoughts when just out of nowhere Kagome asked, "What am I suppose to do all day?"

"Well, if you wanted you could come up stairs. Or you could go to the kitchens and see what our cook, Myoga, is doing." He answered.

"Oh! Could I help Myoga prepare food, I've always loved cooking!" She asked with a sparkle in her eyes. With that face Inuyasha would swim with sharks if she asked him to, so he answered yes. He could already tell tonight would be great, he and Miroku would drink till they drop, then the next morning he would hopefully wake up to the face of Kagome nursing him back to health. Yes, life was great.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~In the kitchens a few hours later~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was a couple of hours later when Kagome went to meet Myoga for the first time. Inuyasha had decided to go with Kagome until she got to the kitchens then he would leave her to her work, knowing that she would probably get lost but wouldn't want to admit it. He would save them both the trouble and just guide her there himself. "Old man! Come'ere!" Hollered Inuyasha.

"Yes sir?" answered an old fat man. Personally, Kagome thought that it looked more like he ate everything in the kitchens than cooked it.

"Inuyasha, who's this fine lady `ere?" Asked the fat man who she assumed was Myoga.

"This `ere is Kagome, she'll be helpin' ya with your cooking." He answered.

"Hello Myoga, it's a pleasure to meet you." Said Kagome looking at the floor.

"Oh my, she has manners Inuyasha, I suggest you keep her.” He said giddily, elbowing Inuyasha in the ribs with his elbow. “Much more friendly. I like much more than that Kikyou gi-" He didn't get to finish his sentence because Inuyasha quickly returned the favor and elbowed him in the ribs.

"Oh, Inuyasha, I want to learn about this Kikyou girl. Please continue Myoga." She said her voice abnormally pleasant with a forced grin across her lips.

"Uh…did I say Kikyou, I meant Miriko, his, ahh little sister." Said Myoga, his voice stuttered. Since Kagome was looking at Myoga she failed to notice the glare Inuyasha was sending at Myoga.

"Oh," She spun on her heel and faced Inuyasha. "I had no idea that you had a little sister." She said putting her finger to her lip.

"Um…yes but she stays at home, she's got quite an adventuristic attitude, probably would, ah, sink the ship for fun." He said, Kagome not picking up the obvious lie. "Well, I must be leavin' now. Myoga, I trust that you'll take good care of her.

While he was leaving Kagome couldn't help but take a peek at his muscled butt but then began to turn red at the perverse thought going through her head. She couldn't help but smile; she was changing so much. Suddenly she felt very ashamed, she had a fiancé back home, as much as she hated him, she was still his fiancée.

"Well Kagome. Kagome right?" He asked. She nodded as a response. "We should get started. We're making mashed potato's, gravy, pork (yes I know that it would all probably go bad because it's on a ship but it's a fanfiction so there!) and salad." He said.

"Well, should I start peeling potato's?" He nodded and began to work on the gravy.

Kagome worked for hours in the kitchen, finally after what seemed like days the food was done. All she could do now was wait for Inuyasha to come get her and tell her supper was to be served.
To pass the time she would think, think about the pirate captain and his muscular buttocks. She wondered about Inuyasha, how could some one so fierce gain way into her heart so fast. It wasn't love, she knew that, but if she stayed on this ship much longer she could not promise what might come to pass.
"Love, are you thinkin' about me?" Asked the exact same person she had just been day dreaming about. He must have come in while she was thinking.

"Wouldn't you like to know." She answered before giving him a hug and a light peck on the cheek.

"Well, if that's how say hello after four hours I'll be back in a day." He smiled playfully.
She jokingly slapped him across the arm. `Ah, young love. I remember when I was like that.' Thought Myoga. He began to laugh, which got the other to inhabitants of the room to stare at him.

"What?" They both asked at the same time, which put him into another round of giggles.

"Well whatever the fat man finds so funny, he can laugh `bout later. Is supper done? The crew's getting' hungry."

"Yep, yep, we'll serve. Do you want us to bring out the sake?" Asked Myoga.

"Fat man, you know the answer to that." Answered Inuyasha with a large smile. It wasn't a hearty smile, more like one of superficial joy.

"Common Kagome, the party's just about to start. I'll introduce you to Sango, I warn you, she likes to drink. Remember, she's the one you met earlier, I'm assuming you two never got properly acquainted. Oh yeah, stay away from Miroku. Tell me if he touches you and I'll rip his throat. This will be fun, trust me." He said and grabbed her hand. He then began to lead her to the room where the festivity's was being held.
